  • Why is prostate cancer so

    From Daryl Stout@999:1/14 to Mike Dippel on Thu Mar 12 23:16:13 2026
    Mike,

    Prostate cancer is common because the prostate is highly
    sensitive to aging-related hormonal changes, especially
    lifelong exposure to testosterone and dihydrotestosterone.

    I don't know of many males who "enjoy" the "prostate check".

    I saw one meme on Facebook that said "I hate these self help
    medical deals. I had to check my prostate, and now I can't find
    my cellphone". <G>
